ne-fairy-ous: the best revenge is a happy ending

Review by ABBY DENTON

June 23, 2024 certified reviewer

What I liked

The finest monocle-work I’ve seen on the stage. I think Susan Sassi could do an amazing Lady Bracknell-type. (That’s not backhanded!! Lots of women have played that role. Dame Judi Dench played Lady Bracknell once and I’m confident Susan would have smoked her at the audition.)

The opening – asking the audience to clap to summon the lead and, incidentally, raise audience energy levels, was especially clever stagecraft.

What I didn't like

C’mon, I want to hear more songs!!

My overall impression

WHAT A SINGER!! Susan Sassi is a dazzling psychopomp in a journey through her own life, effortlessly hopping between characters, including the finest one-woman episode of Wheel of Fortune ever performed.
